Would you explain it for me? The sentence is 'he had not got any damages.Why it uses the tense 'had done' here? Can I express it in 'he didn't/haven't got damages'?

had done是过去完成时,过去完成时(past perfect)①表示发生在过去的动作对现在造成的某种影响或结果②过去某动作一直持续到现在将来可能还要延续下去。句中的动作发生在过去之前(过去的过去),即过去完成时动作发生在过去的过去。 He said he had been to Beijing twice. 他说他已经去过北京两次。(因为“说”said就是过去式,而去北京的动作发生在说said 的过去,所以用过完而不用现完。 从别处找来的,是不是你需要的东西呢?

That all depends on the context.
